the average u.s. citizen throws away about 1,606 lb of trash each year. find this rate in pounds per month, to the nearest tenth

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The average U.S. citizen throws away about 133.8 pounds of garbage a month.

Step-by-step explanation:

First take the total amount of trash thrown away in a year (1,606), and divide it by the number of months in a year (12).

1,606 / 12 = 133.833333

You would get 133.833333 and would round it to the nearest tenth and get 133.8.

Answer 2

Answer:

133.83 lb/month, or  133.8 lb/month to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we need to find the unit rate of throwing stuff away.

To do this, divide 1,606 lb by 12 months, since we want the answer in pounds per month:

1,606 lb

------------- = 133.83 lb/month, or 133 5/6 lb/month

I am an array made with 24 tiles. My number of rows is 2 more than the number of tiles in each of my rows. How many rows do I have.

Answers

Final answer:

We find that there are 6 rows in the array.

Explanation:

To solve the student's question, we need to find the number of rows in an array made with 24 tiles, where the number of rows is 2 more than the number of tiles in each row.

Let's denote the number of tiles in each row as x, and the number of rows as y.

According to the problem statement, y = x + 2.

Also, the total number of tiles in the array is the product of the number of rows and the number of tiles per row, hence 24 = x * y.

Substituting the expression for y from the first equation into the second equation, we have

24 = x * (x + 2).

To find the value of x, we need to solve this quadratic equation. Starting with simplification, we get

x^2 + 2x - 24 = 0.

This factors to (x + 6)(x - 4) = 0, so x could be -6 or 4.

Since the number of tiles in a row can't be negative, we disregard -6, leaving us with x = 4.

Hence, y = 4 + 2 = 6 rows.

as you can see above, we can see that "x" can be a product of whatever "y" happens to be, so we know each variable is just a factor away from the other.

Answer:

Direct variation; k = -3; y = -3x  

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for direct variation is

y = kx     Divide both sides by x

k = y/x

For x = -6, y = 2:

k = -6/2

k = -3

=====

For x = -9, y = 3:

k = -9/3

k = -3

=====

For x = -15, y = 5:

k = -15/5

k = -3

y = -3x

y and x are always in the same ratio, so y varies directly with x.

We can check this by substituting x=3 into both equations and seeing if we get y=0

y = -x+3

y = -3+3

y = x-3

y = 3-3

y=0

In both cases, we got y=0.  

Therefore (3,0) is a solution to both equations and since it solves both equations, it solves the system.

Answers

Answer:

18 number of glasses of lemonade can she pour

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate defined as rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 3 feet per second or 8 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.

As per the statement: Rita has 3/4 gallon of lemonade she pours 1/24 gallon of lemonade into each glass.

Number of lemonade Rita has  = 3/4 gallon

[tex]\text{Unit rate per glass} = \frac{1}{24} \text{gallons}[/tex]

By definition of unit rate;

[tex]\text{Number of glasses} = \frac{\text{Number of lemonade}}{\text{Unit rate per glass}}[/tex]

Substitute the given values we get;

[tex]\text{Number of glasses} = \frac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{1}{24}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Number of glasses} = \frac{3}{4} \times 24 = 3 \times 6 = 18[/tex]

Therefore, number of glasses of lemonade can she pour is, 18

How to find the measure of a triangle?

Answers

is it 1/2×b×h
to find the area
or
base×height

Hi there! :)

Answer:

The answer is D. 83°


Step-by-step explanation:

You should know that the interior angles of a triangle always add up to 180°.

So, what you will need to do, is add all 3 angles together and create an equation (equal to 180). Then you need to solve this equation by isolating "x":

(8x + 12) + (55 - 3x) + (10x + 23) = 180

Get rid of all the parentheses

8x + 12 + 55 - 3x + 10x + 23 = 180

Add all similar terms together

8x - 3x + 10x = 15x

12 + 55 + 23 = 90

15x + 90 = 180

Subtract "90" from each side of the equation → 180 - 90 = 90

15x = 90

Divide each side of the equation by "15" → 90 ÷ 15 = 6

x = 6


Since you now know that the value of "x" is 6, you can now find the measure of the angle at George's position by replacing the "x" by 6:

10x + 23 = Measure of the angle at George's position

10(6) + 23

Multiply 10 by 6 → 10 × 6 = 60

60 + 23

Add 60 and 23 together → 60 + 23 = 83

83 = Measure of the angle at George's position


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

A cyclist rides his bike at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour. What is this speed in miles per hour? How many miles will the cyclist travel in 4 hours? In your computations, assume that 1 mile is equal to 1.6 kilometers. Do not round your answers.

Answers

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

1 mph = 1.6 kph

30 ÷ 1.6 = 18.75 mph

18.75 mph x 4 hours = 75 miles

Final answer:

The speed of the cyclist is 18.75 miles per hour and he will travel 75 miles in 4 hours.

Explanation:

To convert the speed from kilometers per hour to miles per hour, we divide the speed in kilometers per hour by 1.6 (since 1 mile is equal to 1.6 kilometers). So, the speed of the cyclist in miles per hour is 30 / 1.6 = 18.75 miles per hour. Cyclist rides at this speed.

To find out how many miles the cyclist will ride in 4 hours, we multiply the speed in miles per hour by the number of hours. So, in 4 hours, the cyclist will travel 18.75 * 4 = 75 miles.

Remember, these answers are precise as we did not round them.

Area of square with side s is s^2.

This square has side x + y, so

area = (x + y)^2

area = (x + y)(x + y)

area = x^2 + xy + xy + y^2

area = x^2 + 2xy + y^2

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

area of a square = s² ( s is the side length )

here s = x + y, hence

area = (x + y)² ← expand using FOIL )

A rescue helicopter is used to help victims who fell in a ditch. The helicopter begins at sea level, which is an elevation of 0 feet. It then travels down for 100 seconds at a speed of 10.5 feet per second. It then travels directly up for 150 seconds at a speed of 5.2 feet per second. After this 250 second period, how much time, in seconds, will it take for the rescue helicopter to travel back to sea level at the helicopter's maximum speed of 15.8 feet per second?

Answers

Answer:

Answer is 17.088 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given,

Speed of helicopter while going down = 10.5feet/sec

Time taken to travel down = 100 sec

Distance covered while going down = speed * time

Distance covered while going down  = 10.5 * 100

Distance covered while going down  = 1050 feet

Now,

Speed of helicopter while going up = 5.2feet/sec

time taken to travel up = 150 sec

Distance covered while going up = 5.2 * 150 =  780 feet

After this 250 second period , the position of helicopter will be:

Position of helicopter = distance covered in downward - distance covered upward

Position of helicopter = 1050 - 780 = 270 feet

That means we need to travel upward a distance of 270 feet at a maximum speed of 15.8feet/sec to reach sea level.

Time taken to reach sea level = distance/ speed = 270/15.8 = 17.088 sec

Hence time taken to reach at sea level with maximum speed is 17.088 seconds.

brent started his homework at 4:00 pm. he completed it at the time shown. write how far the minute hand has turned in degrees and as a fraction of a full turn.

Answers

Final answer:

The minute hand has turned 450 degrees and 1.25 of a full turn.

Explanation:

To find the angle the minute hand has turned, we need to find the elapsed time in minutes and convert it to degrees. Since Brent started his homework at 4:00 pm, we need to determine the elapsed time from 4:00 pm to the completion time. Let's say he completed his homework at 5:15 pm, which means 1 hour and 15 minutes have passed. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so the total elapsed time is 60 minutes + 15 minutes = 75 minutes.



To convert minutes to degrees, we need to know that the minute hand completes a full revolution (360 degrees) in 60 minutes. Therefore, we can set up a proportion: 75 minutes is to x degrees as 60 minutes is to 360 degrees. Solving for x, we get:



x = (75 minutes * 360 degrees) / 60 minutes = 450 degrees



So, the minute hand has turned 450 degrees.



As a fraction of a full turn, we can divide the angle turned in degrees (450 degrees) by 360 degrees (a full turn), giving us:



450 degrees / 360 degrees = 1.25



Therefore, the minute hand has turned 1.25 of a full turn.
